AFTER losing two siblings, members of the Brown family are organising a special auction by way of thanks to the Great Oaks Forest Hospice.

Surviving family members including organiser Gill Brown will all be present at the auction at the White Hart in St White's Road, Cinderford, on Saturday (November 12, 8pm).

Gill, whose sister Janet was looked after by the hospice before her death, says there will be some great entertainment including live music as well as some interesting lots on offer.

It's the second auction for the family – the same event last year was a great success.

All are welcome – and anyone with goods to offer can contact her on Dean 827792.
